Population structure, growth, length-weight relationship and reproduction characteristics of leaping grey mullet (Liza saliens (Risso, 1810) were investigated in Beymelek Lagoon from February 2006 to January 2007.  During the study, a total of 1248 leaping grey mullet were captured by gill- and trammel nets of various mesh sizes. Male to female ratio for leaping grey mullet population in Beymel...

This study was carried out between September 2020 and March 2021 to determine the selectivity of monofilament gillnets used in pearl mullet, Alburnus tarichi (Güldenstädt, 1814), fishing Lake Van. The SELECT method applied selectivity. best model for mullet determined as log-normal model. optimum catch lengths with 20, 22 24 mm mesh sizes were calculated 21.69 cm, 23.84 cm 26.01 respectively. C...

A new species of natricine snake of the Southeast Asian genus Opisthotropis Gü nther, 1872 is described from western Hunan Province of China based on both mitochondrial DNA and morphological data. The new species is morphologically most similar and genetically most closely related to O. cheni Zhao, 1999 and O. latouchii (Boulenger, 1899), but possesses considerable genetic divergence (p-distanc...

The infection rates of trematode metacercariae were studied in fish from a polishing pond of a wastewater treatment factory and from Bang Yai Canal, Mueang District, Phuket Province, Thailand. The investigation was carried out from April 2001 to April 2002. Nile tilapia (Tilapia nilotica) were collected from the polishing pond, while mullet (Valamugil cunnesius) were collected from Bang Yai Can...

Salted fish preparations are popular and widely eaten across the world. Salting is a preservation strategy to enhance shelf life by decreasing water activity in muscles. demand increases with less regard for characteristics, novel strategies required healthy production. Lysozyme, EDTA, their mixture, black cumin oil nanoemulsion (BCN) were used dipping treatments make preservative films before ...

 The paper focuses on some of the biological characteristics of golden grey mullet, Liza aurata in Iranian waters of the Caspian Sea. Samples of commercial catch of mullet obtained by means of beach seine fishing cooperatives along the Iranian coasts of Caspian Sea (2007-2008) as monthly interval. Samples subjected to biometric measurement to specify their biological characteristics. The male/f...

We studied the stability of cemented all-polyethylene keeled glenoid components by radiostereometric analysis (RSA) in 16 shoulders which had received a total shoulder replacement. There were 14 women (one bilateral) and one man with a mean age of 64 years. The diagnosis was osteoarthritis in eight and rheumatoid arthritis in seven. Two of the shoulders were excluded from the RSA study because ...

There is intense fishing activity, mainly artisanal, in the Cananéia, Iguape and Ilha Comprida Estuarine System. White mullet (Mugil curema) is one of the local fishery resources and is usually caught with gillnets and fish traps. This study aimed to characterise the Mugil curema fisheries thereby underpinning the management of the species in the region. The study was developed with data collec...

We describe a new species of riparian lizard from the foothills and submontane forest El Sira Communal Reserve, Departamento de Huánuco, Peru, at elevations 540 to 760 m. name Potamites hydroimperator sp. nov. because it is only living in streams this isolated mountain. The distinguishable other congeners (except P. ecpleopus) by having longitudinal rows keeled scales on dorsum, males with 5–8 ...
